The long-time average behavior of the value function in the calculus of variations is known to be connected to the existence of the limit of the corresponding Abel means. Still in the Tonelli case, such a limit is in turn related to the…

Systems of Hamilton-Jacobi equations arise naturally when we study the optimal control problems with pathwise deterministic trajectories with random switching. In this work, we are interested in the large time behavior of weakly coupled…

We intend to analyse the constraint structure of Teleparallelism employing the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism for singular systems. This study is conducted without using an ADM 3+1 decomposition and without fixing time gauge condition. It can be…

Hamiltonian constraints feature in the canonical formulation of general relativity. Unlike typical constraints they cannot be associated with a reduction procedure leading to a non-trivial reduced phase space and this means the physical…

We consider the optimal control of solutions of first order Hamilton-Jacobi equations, where the Hamiltonian is convex with linear growth. This models the problem of steering the propagation of a front by constructing an obstacle. We prove…

Beginning with a relativistic action principle for the irrotational flow of collisionless matter, we compute higher order corrections to the Zel'dovich approximation by deriving a nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the velocity…

I suggest in this letter a new strategy to attack the problem of the reality conditions in the Ashtekar approach to classical and quantum general relativity. By writing a modified Hamiltonian constraint in the usual $SO(3)$ Yang-Mills phase…

In this paper we revisit the nonmanifestly Lorentz-covariant canonical analysis of the Holst action with a cosmological constant. We take a viewpoint close to that of F. Cianfrani and G. Montani [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 091301 (2009)] and…

We establish existence and uniqueness of minimax solutions for a fairly general class of path-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi equations. In particular, the relevant Hamiltonians can contain the solution and they only need to be measurable with…

We give a meaning to the Hamilton--Jacobi equation arising from mean-field spin glass models in the viscosity sense, and establish the corresponding well-posedness. Originally defined on the set of monotone probability measures, these…
